    The title, Jazz: Cool Birth" is a play on Miles Davis’ "Birth of Cool" album in 1950 that ushered in the age of cool jazz. The comic is full of those little nods to jazz history, and the graphics and type are inspired by ’50s album cover design, but you don’t need to know any of that to enjoy the story and art.

    Grunge was a wonderful graphic style, but it has been around since the late ’70s and it’s obvious people are looking for something different. The flat, simple lines and bright colors from those days before computers fit in well with my own artistic inclinations so I ran with it.

    The result is like nothing you’ve ever seen in a comic book before, a rich melange of bebop for your glims, a righteous groove without notes, dig? Put on some Monk, Miles or Coltrane and enjoy.

    Check out "Seductions" and "Adam Among the Gods" at the Aazurn Publishing website at http://www.aazurn.com

    Thanks for talking about it! Indies always scramble for exposure.

    Peace!
